The subject is inspired by an engraving of Amor Volubile by Pierre-Charles Coqueret, after Raphael's series of the Six Amours. A tumbler with the same subject is illustrated by Paul H Dunlop, The Jokelson Collection of Antique Cameo Encrustation (1991), p.36, no.64 and by Fernando Montes de Oca, L'Age D'Or du Verre en France (2001), p.385, no.532. Montes de Oca suggests the enamel incrustation may have been produced by the accomplished by jeweller and goldsmith Jean-Alexandre Paris (1781-1850), who invented the method of including his enamels in glass. A flask with this subject on silver foil is illustrated by Montes de Oca at p.385, no.533.
